All about me ♪♫

I'm Ambur, and I'm addicted to books, tea, superheroes, and TV! I'm extremely passionate about my fandoms—right now I'm currently obsessed with Game of Thrones, Outlander, Nightwing/Dick Grayson, Captain America, and I strongly identify with my Hogwarts house, Hufflepuff. When it comes to books, I'm a sucker for young adult books, and romance novels, especially of the sports or historical variety!

On a planet where
violence and vengeance rule, in a galaxy where some are favored by fate,
everyone develops a currentgift, a unique power meant to shape the
future. While most benefit from their currentgifts, Akos and Cyra do not
— their gifts make them vulnerable to others’ control. Can they reclaim
their gifts, their fates, and their lives, and reset the balance of
power in this world?

Cyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who
rules the Shotet people. Cyra’s currentgift gives her pain and power —
something her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies. But
Cyra is much more than just a blade in her brother’s hand: she is
resilient, quick on her feet, and smarter than he knows.

Akos is
from the peace-loving nation of Thuve, and his loyalty to his family is
limitless. Though protected by his unusual currentgift, once Akos and
his brother are captured by enemy Shotet soldiers, Akos is desperate to
get his brother out alive — no matter what the cost. When Akos is thrust
into Cyra’s world, the enmity between their countries and families
seems insurmountable. They must decide to help each other to survive —
or to destroy one another.

While I wasn't as happy with the ending of the Divergent trilogy as I could've been, I still love Veronica Roth's writing style and her characters, so I'm EXTREMELY excited for this one! The story sounds intense, and I'm really eager to see Veronica write something new! As for the cover, I love it! It's eerie, a little spooky...and very foreboding!! And the description⎯wow! CARVE THE MARK sounds amazing! :D

I'm sure the second cover that I have to share today is another one that you've likely seen. It's the cover for THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR by Nicola Yoon!

THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR by Nicola Yoon
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Release Date: November 1, 2016

Description:Natasha: I’m a girl who
believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that
will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a
cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him.
Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica.
Falling in love with him won’t be my story.

Daniel: I’ve always
been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high
expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I
forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate
has something much more extraordinary in store—for both of us.

The
Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single
moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?

I borrowed EVERYTHING EVERYTHING from the library just shortly after its release, and it completely blew me away!! It was an amazing story, and I immediately became a Nicola Yoon fangirl. When I saw this cover, I was speechless! It's absolutely GORGEOUS...and the story, it sounds absolutely amaze-balls!! I can't wait to read THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR!

Ughh. Carve the Mark does have a really gorgeous cover. I just...I didn't love Divergent at all. Whyyy? If the hype is convincing enough after its release, I might just have to cave and give it a shot.

And of course The Sun is Also a Star is stunning. Everything, Everything had a really unique and beautiful cover as well. Whoever's designing these is mega talented. :D

I love how you chose such different covers here! The contrast is really great.

Awww, well whenever I get the chance to read it, I'll let you know what I think! I loved Divergent and Insurgent...Allegiant, not so much. lol I do love Veronica's writing style though so I'm very excited for CARVE THE MARK!

YES!!! So pretty! And they really are super talented, I agree!

haha thanks! I usually end up picking two that are slightly similar in some way, but this week, I just wanted to share two that I loved!! :D
